Roses do not represent anyone's heart

Towards the end of one day in Ecuador, the girl who was the guide whispered to me, "Tonight, I will come to your room and give you a gift."
I am very happy that people rejoice when they hear that there are gifts. Busy asking, what gift?
She said it was a specialty of Ecuador called the Immortal Flower.
When I heard the word "eternal life", I couldn't help but think of "immortality" and felt very solemn. I said, it's a fake flower. I firmly believe that no flower can live forever.
No. It's a real flower. Ecuador has the most beautiful roses in the world, and I love roses very much. The girl said with certainty. She is a graduate student graduating from a prestigious university and speaks with a board and an eye.
It just so happens that I also like roses. In order to see the roses, I also specially made a special trip to the Balkan Peninsula for the time of the Bulgarian Rose Festival. I wonder, does the immortal flower refer specifically to the rose? Or that only roses can live forever?
Sometimes a trivial little hobby of the same can bring strangers closer together extremely quickly. People take it for granted that since we have the same hobbies, we are likely to have more similarities and will happily think of ourselves as the same. Especially in love, people fall in love with each other at first sight, but it is just a copy of high narcissism.
I call this beautiful girl Miss Rose in my heart.
Miss Rose said that not only roses, but also carnations, phalaenopsis orchids or hydrangeas, etc., can be made into immortal flowers. But only the eternal life of the rose is the most gorgeous.
I was still ignorant of the Immortal Flower. No flower can withstand the small fire of time and slow stew. The immortality of flowers can only be an adjective of people's wishful thinking. The delicacy of the flower makes people hope that it will never wither, although it is crazy in theory, but people are always working tirelessly, hoping that it can solidify when it blooms.
However, I always wonder, should the flowers live forever? Isn't the preciousness of the flower in that its white colt crosses the gap?
People love to talk about flower viewing but not about grass, because grass is enduring.
After dinner, I anxiously awaited Miss Rose's visit in the hotel room, waiting for the legendary immortal flower.
finally. Miss Rose carried a large paper bag and pulled out a blue velvet box from it. She carefully lifted the lid of the exquisite box, and a lifelike red rose jumped in front of her. You can think of it as a freshly plucked rose, bright and vibrant. It's just that I looked down and sniffed it, and there was no aroma.
Miss Rose said that the eternal flower is also called the bao flower, the ecological flower, also known as the "flower that never withers.".
Although what he has seen is believed, he is still full of doubts. I asked, it really... It used to be... A blooming rose?
Miss Rose said that her past life was indeed a real rose. It's just that unlike ordinary roses, waiting for its fate is not a natural withering, and then bearing red rose hips, but after a series of tempering processes...
Temper? I repeated it gently, unbelievably. The flower was bright and did not look like it had been tortured in any way.
Miss Rose touched the velvet petals of the rose and said that only the largest, most complete and most beautiful roses are qualified to embark on the journey of eternal life. The first step is to dehydrate the roses in a special way. After dehydration, decolorization is performed. The immortal flowers we see now, although very similar to the real flowers, the color is not naturally brought by the real flowers, but the color is decolored and dried, and then the water molecules in the flowers are replaced with special materials, and the color presented by further dyeing is a clever simulation. This process is complex and has many steps. Therefore, to be precise, it is a dried flower formed after rigorous chemical and physical processing, although it is true, but it has been reborn.
I looked at this immortal flower, and first I remembered "The flower has no ten days of red", and this flower has created the opposite. Then I remembered the mummy of ancient Egypt and felt that it was the immortal queen of flowers.
How long can it be preserved? I asked.
Miss Rose said it almost never withered.
I said that since it is a series of physical and chemical processes, it is theoretically possible to change. A flower is never a body that is not bad.
Miss Rose said that for at least 3 years, its vivid beauty would be indistinguishable from that of a real flower. Of course, you can't bask in the sun, and you can't be exposed to high temperatures and humidity for a long time. This is actually very similar to a real flower, and in a very bad situation, the real rose cannot bloom for a long time.
That's true. I realized that I was being too harsh on the Immortal Flower.
Legends about roses come and go.
The god of love in Greek mythology is called Aphrodite, and the name means "bubble". Is this a metaphor for the unpredictability and fleeting of love? The goddess had a heavy burden, was busy at work, and had so many things to do in the kingdom of the gods.
She not only accepted matters related to love and beauty, but also extended to the field of marriage, and there are legends that she is the protector of navigation.
It is said that Aphrodite's beauty surpassed that of all women in heaven and on earth. That is to say, she not only fell into the city, but also fell to the sky. Zeus admired and pursued her (as long as there were beautiful girls in Greek mythology, the old man was like a shadow), but Aphrodite flatly refused. Zeus was extremely vengeful and asked her to marry Hephaestus, the ugly and lame craftsman god. Aphrodite did not love the artisan god, nor was she loyal to him, and formed a huge team of lovers on her own, including Ares, the god of war, Dionysus, the god of wine, Poseidon, the god of the sea, plus hermes, the messenger of the gods, etc., and ate all the handsome men of the entire god realm. However, Aphrodite was not so snobbish, and her lovers were not all listed in the xianban, and the mortal Adonis in the world was also among them.
Aphrodite competed with Hera and Athena for the Golden Apple, which finally caused Troy's 10-year bloody war. I won't go into detail about this thrilling and tortuous battle. If you think that this circle of gods is a little too complicated to remember, I will talk about the son of the goddess, you must be no stranger.
The child was born to her and Ares, the god of war, with wings on her back and flying everywhere. He has a golden bow and a quiver of gold and silver arrows. If you are shot by him with a golden arrow, you will have love, and if the silver arrow is shot, you will reject love. When you see this, you must say, Oops, who am I? Isn't this just a little angel!
Congratulations, you're right! But this time we don't talk about the little angel, but about his mother. The goddess Aphrodite, in order to save her mortal lover Adonis, desperately ran among the roses. Running too fast, the rose in the way pierced her hand, pierced her leg, and the blood suddenly splashed down. Before that, the roses were all snow-white, and the blood of the goddess dyed them bright red. Since then, the rose has become a symbol of love and has been given a symbol of fidelity.
Miss Rose told me that she had come from Chinese mainland. While studying in China, I fell in love with a handsome and excellent young man from Ecuador. When the book was finished, the lad proposed to her.
Wait a minute...... I interrupted her and asked, at that time, did you know that Ecuador had the most beautiful roses in the world?
I already know. Miss Rose replied.
So, your Prince Charming, is he holding a red rose in his hand to confess to you? I asked. An old woman, so interested in the details of young people's marriage and love, is a bit nonsensical, and my professional habits make me ask the truth.
he...... There is no rose in hand. He said that although we have the most beautiful roses in the world in our house, I know that roses are roses and I am me. The rose does not represent my heart, my heart does not need the help of the rose, it is alone and waiting for you wholeheartedly... Miss Rose's eyes lit up as she spoke, and her eyes moved upwards to the left, and I understood that this was a deep memory.
I said, what your former fiancé and now husband said, I want to praise it. There are countless relics created by diamonds, roses, forget-me-nots, crystals and others in the world to pin the loyalty and eternity of love. But, in the final analysis, they are only ignorant and unconscious mineral plants, and external matter cannot represent the human heart. Therefore, diamonds cannot be relied on, roses are unreliable, and the sea oath mountain alliance is not working, only a person's inner commitment and perseverance is the most important warranty of love.
Why do people like flowers?
Why do you smile when you see a hundred flowers blooming?
Why do women have a special love for flowers?
Why does the rose make people who are originally uncertain about love make up their minds to go along with each other as soon as they are excited?
From this point of view, roses are the cooks who boil love ecstasy soup. The reason why roses have many chances of winning comes from people's love for flowers. This old account of time can be turned back to ancient times.
The flower is the mother, and the fruit is its children. Only when it blossoms can it have fruit, which is common knowledge that primitive people understand. Even figs have flowers. When I was in Xinjiang, I saw fig flowers. It differs from the usual flower in that it is not exposed, but hidden in unpolished fruit. After the fig tree grows its leaves, under the leaves, a small fig fruit (in fact, it expands into a fleshy spherical flower holder and flower organs such as pistils and stamens). Correctly speaking, it has not yet completed pollination, and it is not certain whether it can grow fruit, but it has initially the shape of the fruit. You pluck it (sin, this fig died prematurely) and look closely, there is a small hole in the top of the fruit that leads to the outside world. After breaking the small fruit vertically, you will see that there are many small flowers growing inside, both female and male, with different appearances. They bloom in a total flower tray, pollinate each other, and then bear fruit.
Pollinating the fig is a very small bee, only 2 to 3 mm in size, and the small hole in the top of the fig is the safe passage for it to enter and exit, and the bee is busy drilling in and out to pollinate the fig. This special plant, similar to figs, is called "cryptocephalus".
No matter how hidden it is, it is also a flower. In ancient times, our ancestors, men went out hunting, and women planted plants around the cave dwellings that could be eaten with grass seeds in case of emergency. At that time, the level of production was extremely low, whether the seeds could germinate, whether the germination could grow, whether they could blossom when they grew up, and whether they could bear fruit as promised, were all unknown. How much the cave woman expects the flowers to bloom, it is the rite of passage of the plant. Seeing the flowers, the final harvest of the plant has some hope, and the continuation of the clan life is more certain.
Although there is no longer any need to look forward to flowers, no need to closely link flowers with harvest and life, the subconscious and collective unconscious of women firmly remember this excitement. Therefore, flowers have great appeal and demagogy for women. Seeing flowers will cause sensory pleasure, will enhance their sense of security, will cause an outbreak of happiness, will make women enter happy and joyful emotions, and their hearts will be turbulent... The cover originates from this, there is nothing mysterious about it.
O woman in love, you need to know the emotions of the rose, the fuse index. You need to beware of the possibility that in the absence of your intellect, the aroma of roses will make you take a step out of your slumber. Rose could be turned into a shiny pink gun. Rose is speechless, Rose is innocent. The sorrows and joys of the world are clutched, everything is dry with the rose, and the rose vulture blooms on its own.
